It's just a bit tame and slow that's all. A very small city and small centre. I would choose Adelaide over Sydney for sure but not over Melbourne.

I have 21 relations in Adelaide spread throughout 6 homes and to me, they appear rather dulled out by the fact they seem to have lived there for ever. In the 70's when I was there, (much of which is a blur ) the nightlife was cool cos of many beach parties etc. and outdoor festivals such as at Myponga and the annual German one up in the hills were cool scenes.

I was there again in 2003 and found that it had become a more conservative and plastic social scene. Up in North Adelaide on O'Connell Street is a good place for cafe bars and eateries. Also around Unley Road, Goodwood / Belair in the south suburbs. Other than that I don't know of much else about Adelaide's weekend nightlife. It seems more of a place to bring up a family in a suburban bungalow and for stable straight laced people. Just my impression. I would never be without a good warm bed, company and food there but am not attracted to the place at all.

P.S !   Hey Ben B dude. Those oh so minor offences you got binned for WILL put your application in the NO tray, for sure. What I don't know about aussie immigration and the appeals etc. ain't worth knowing.

Ask away ? You'll get a NO man.

Don't bother trying, and save your money.

It's the same as any city, things happen, people go out drinking and having fun etc, but it really does tend to be a bit bland compared to Sydney (mind you, Sydney is one of the world's most buzzing and energetic cities). I think it's because it's mostly quite flat and laid out on a grid, not very green, and also not nearly as multicultural. It has a strong English and (Lutheran) German influence due to its early migrants, there are lots of German surnames.

One of the nice things about it is the climate and layout lends itself to eating outdoors at restaurants in the evenings during the long summers.

It's really quite a nice place to have a family, and it takes most people no more than 40minutes to get to work. It's just difficult for anywhere to match up to Sydney.
